New Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen signaled a policy shift on Ukraine in his 1st speech hinting the new government will take a more pro-Russian line. He said he will speak on Tuesday with Russian FM Lavrov, the first such call since the SMO began. We’ll see where this goes. Even as a Palestine supporter, Israeli politicians are known to be very rational and calculating. I personally think that this latest announcement, if followed through on, could be very significant

      I guess I was imagining some strong man coming into power that would separate themselves from US interests. They can’t deny the inevitable, it’s just about time for Europe to start towards China.

      To be fair, weren’t Sweden and Finland vicariously part of NATO anyways?

        They were. But they didn’t host NATO nukes. Not officially at least
